Dumbledore took one quick look at the ruined painting and turned, his eyes sombre,
鄧布利多對被損壞的畫迅速地看了一眼就轉過身來，
to see Professors McGonagall, Lupin and Snape hurrying towards him.
他憂郁的眼睛看到麥格教授、盧平教授和斯內普教授疾步走向他。
'We need to find her,' said Dumbledore.
‘我們需要找到她，’鄧布利多說。
'Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr Filch at once and tell him to search every painting in the castle for the Fat Lady.'
‘麥格教授，請馬上到費爾奇那里去，告訴他在城堡里每幅畫上尋找胖夫人。
'You'll be lucky!' said a cackling voice.
“你會走運的！”一個嘶啞的聲音說。
It was Peeves the poltergeist, bobbing over the crowd and looking delighted, as he always did, at the sight of wreckage or worry.
那是捉弄人的皮皮鬼，他在人群的頭頂上跳著，很高興的樣子，看到破壞和憂愁的景象，他向來如此。
'What do you mean, Peeves?' said Dumbledore calmly, and Peeves's grin faded a little.
“你這是什么意思，皮皮鬼？”鄧布利多鎮靜地問道。皮皮鬼的笑容消退了一點。
He didn't dare taunt Dumbledore.
他不敢嘲笑鄧布利多。
Instead he adopted an oily voice that was no better than his cackle.
他轉而采取一種油滑的腔調，聽起來倒比那嘶啞的聲音要好些。
'Ashamed, Your Headship, sir.
“不好意思，校長先生。
Doesn't want to be seen. She's a horrible mess.
不想被人看見。她弄得一塌糊涂了。
Saw her running through the landscape up on the fourth floor, sir, dodging between the trees. Crying something dreadful, he said happily.
看見她跑過五樓那張風景畫，先生，躲在樹木中間，哭著說什么可怕的事情。”他高興地說。
'Poor thing,' he added, unconvincingly.
“可憐的東西。”他加了一句，卻全無可憐別人的意思。
'Did she say who did it?' said Dumbledore quietly.
“她說了是誰干的嗎？”鄧布利多安靜地問。
'Oh, yes, Professorhead,' said Peeves, with the air of one cradling a large bombshell in his arms.
“哦，說了，教授頭子。”皮皮鬼說，神氣像是懷中抱著一枚大炸彈似的。
'He got very angry when she wouldn't let him in, you see.'
“她不讓他進去，他非常惱火，你明白。”
Peeves flipped over, and grinned at Dumbledore from between his own legs.
皮皮鬼在空中翻跟斗，從他自己的雙腿中間對鄧布利多咧著嘴笑。
'Nasty temper he's got, that Sirius Black.'
“他脾氣可真壞，這個小天狼星布萊克。”
